Default It WILL open all the way if you hold the switch in the full open postion.

It defaults to the 3/4-ish open postion because wind buffetting gets pretty noisey, and irritating, past 3/4 open at speed without the rear windows cracked a bit.

And no, there's no way to modify it.

The B6's defaulted to all the way open and you'd have to move the switch to 3/4 to get the wind noise/slap to a reasonable level. It was really annoying.

Default Never mind...

I misread the original question to open the sunroof all the way from the sunroof controls.

Default The B6's set up was better. If you only wanted it open 3/4, you turn the

switch to 3/4. Want it open all the way? Turn it all the way. With the B7, it is a two-step process to get it open all the way. That isn't progress IMO.

Our opinions differ.

Default You probably didn't realize one thing about the B6 switch...

The switch "notch" at the 3/4 position requires slightly more force to overcome than the rest. I've never turned the switch pass that position unintentionally, even when I wasn't looking at the switch.

Default You're right. I never noticed that about the B6.

I'm guessing a great many folks didn't notice it either and ended up complaining about the wind thump with the sunroof all the way open.

I suspect that's why Audi changed it on the B7.
